摘要

长期以来，人们一直假设爱情是一种普遍的人类体验。然而，大多数验证这一说法的研究都依赖于历史数据或主要关注WEIRD人群。在这项研究中，我们通过分析来自9个具有不同生态和文化背景的社会的数据来超越WEIRD，这些社会的生活方式被认为更接近人类祖先的生活方式，而不是今天高度工业化的社会。这些社会包括：来自澳大利亚的土著，来自印度的Bhotiya，来自尼日利亚的富拉尼，来自坦桑尼亚的Hadza，来自尼日利亚的Igbo，来自肯尼亚的Kimeru，来自坦桑尼亚的Meru，来自加德满都的尼泊尔人和来自玻利维亚的Tsimane （N = 937,43% %男性，Mage = 33.51, SDage = 10.59）。在所有文化中，参与者都报告了高水平的亲密、激情和承诺，这是浪漫爱情的三个核心组成部分。爱情强度的个体差异大于文化差异，尽管文化差异表明文化因素对爱情体验有一定的影响。此外，与激情相比，更高的亲密度和承诺的模式与WEIRD样本的发现密切一致。总之，本研究为浪漫爱情的普遍性提供了进一步的证据。

Love as a universal phenomenon: Data from nine non-WEIRD societies

Love has long been hypothesized to be a universal human experience. However, most studies testing this claim have relied on historical data or heavily focused on WEIRD populations. In this study, we go beyond WEIRD by analysing data from nine societies with distinct ecological and cultural backgrounds, whose lifestyles are believed to more closely approximate those of human ancestors, rather than those of highly industrialized societies of today. These societies include: Aborigines from Australia, Bhotiya from India, Fulani from Nigeria, Hadza from Tanzania, Igbo from Nigeria, Kimeru from Kenya, Meru from Tanzania, Nepalis from Kathmandu, and Tsimane from Bolivia (N = 937, 43 % men, M_age = 33.51, SD_age = 10.59). Across all cultures, participants reported high levels of intimacy, passion, and commitment, the three core components of romantic love. Individual differences in love’s intensity were greater than cultural differences, though cultural variation suggests some influence of cultural factors on love experiences. Additionally, the pattern of higher intimacy and commitment compared to passion closely aligns with findings from WEIRD samples. Overall, the present study provides further evidence for the universality of romantic love.

期刊介绍： IJIR is dedicated to advancing knowledge and understanding of theory, practice, and research in intergroup relations. The contents encompass theoretical developments, field-based evaluations of training techniques, empirical discussions of cultural similarities and differences, and critical descriptions of new training approaches. Papers selected for publication in IJIR are judged to increase our understanding of intergroup tensions and harmony. Issue-oriented and cross-discipline discussion is encouraged. The highest priority is given to manuscripts that join theory, practice, and field research design. By theory, we mean conceptual schemes focused on the nature of cultural differences and similarities.
